The Nordiques

A mix of the old west and the NHL..... Rangers or Northern Rangers

A few other Rangers, but nobody noteworthy in college. Having the Texas Rangers and New York Rangers in professional sports is a point against for me.

Rangers ---

Drew University (Madison, New Jersey)

Regis University (Denver, Colorado)

Northwestern Oklahoma State University (Alva, Oklahoma)

University of Wisconsin-Parkside (Kenosha, Wisconsin)

I do like Northern Rangers better than many of the others, including plain Rangers. The only Northern anything I could find are:

Nor'Easters ---

University of New England (Biddeford, Maine)

Northern Lights ---

Montana State University-Northern (Havre, Montana) (men's team)

It might be a little too much hockey for the rest of the Athletic Department, but worth putting on the list to consider.

So, is this the list (of serious suggestions)? What else has been discussed?

Aviators

Blizzard

Cavalry

Colts

Hawks

Jets

Mallards

Mavericks

Mustangs

Nodaks

Nokotas (Horse)

Nordiques

Norse

North Stars

Outlaws

Pilots

Rangers

Roughnecks

Roughriders

Shockers (as in "wheat shockers")

Storm

Thunder

Vikings

Warriors

Wheat Kings

Wild

Wranglers

Off the top of my head I would add three variations of other suggestions, Nordics, Norsemen (and women) and Northern Rangers. You could also add Reapers. I'm sure that there are some others, but I can't think of them at this moment.

I like the Nordiques...it fits with out northern theme...has precedent in hockey...

The University of North Dakota Nordiques

A Nordique is a Native Canadian from northern Quebec. Doubt it will pass the PC test. Then again, the US has always treated Canadians differently, so maybe the NCAA would be ignorant of the source of the name.
